4. Wear Bunion Splints at Night
Bunion splints are devices that correct bunions by aligning the toe in a natural position. They are worn while sleeping and come in different designs and styles. Some splints are designed to pull your big toe while others push it to alignment. You should ensure that the splint you purchase is comfortable since you’ll be using it for long periods.
5. Maintain a Healthy Weight
Bunions get worse for people who are overweight. Maintaining a healthy weight keeps excess pressure off your bunions and feet in general, bringing a lot of relief. Since the bunions form at the joint of your big toe near the ball, your weight is distributed to the bunions instead of the ball of your feet.
This causes a lot of pain, and your joints become stiff and cramped. A healthy diet and exercising regularly as part of your lifestyle can take excess weight off your bunions to avoid their further development.
